Good and Bad days

Yesterday the kids were out of control, hyper, cranky, etc... Today was much better! We had church in the morning (after the barn chores) maybe that is why?! Then we had lunch and they played nicely inside for a while then we went back to the barn, where there was on little melt down. Emily likes to drive now and she likes Tyler's quad! So she wanted to ride it and then because she was riding it HE wanted it! So after a little melt down we were able to take turns and share. We finished the barn a little early and then we went to A&P. I was dreading it, because to go with both of them is not easy! But they wanted to use one of the big shopping carts with the seats, so I threatened that if they didn't use the seats (which they do to me all the time) that I would leave them in the store to go back and get a regular cart (which of course I wouldn't do, tempting as it might be) and that worked. Plus Tyler wanted a sugar cookie from the bakery which he knew he had to behave for, and he did! So we managed a big food shopping with no problems. Then home for a quick dinner and THEN we made 6 loaves of Zucchini bread and 24 muffins! Sounds crazy, but we wanted to use up the three zucchinis we got from my Mom's garden and we had one from ours that was getting to big to leave any longer. Tyler again, was a big help. He helped me get all the stuff out, helped peel the zucchinis, and helped do most of the mixing! They both got one slice before bed and they loved it! It was the only vegatables they got all day!
